Discontinued Ideas: Heathly Eating Device

Our idea of a non-intursive healthy eating device has many possible features and extentions beyond blood monitoring, however we have decided to discount it as a possible final project idea for multiple reasons.

First of all we are unsure as to whether children would actually want to wear such a device, it would be quite bulky and possibly quite heavy on a small child's arm and would irritate them. This may also encourage the child to remove the device from their wrist when adults aren't watching them, this would cause the monitoring to be interrupted and may corrupt the device's results.

Secondly, we questioned how long it would take for a child to become bored by such a device. Even though it would feature videos and games these are not likely to entertain a child for long as they would easily lose interest. The majority of children under the age of 11 are generally not interested in what food they eat or eating healthily.

Overall we feel in theory the device would be a good product, however in reality it is just not suitable for the age range it is targeted at.
